-->'''Harry''': {{Beat}} And what are you in comparison to that? You are simply the latest and by far the most pitiful of his attempts to destabilise us.

We have courage, steel, [[ThePowerOfLove powers your master will]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship never understand and the strength to wield them effectively]]. Go, now, while we feel merciful, you worthless piece of shit. [[ThePrincessBride Or I will fight you to the pain. I feel I should explain at this point what that means. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose. After that, you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right. But your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear Eru! What is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever]].

-->'''The Mouth''': Ah, the black wizard speaks at last. And I see you have brought companions, lesser in power, but still, you would have been useful to Lord Sauron if you had been but willing to serve him. As it is, you are mere fleas compared to the might of the Lord of Barad Dur.

* Boromir tearing into Morcar for mocking Harry. After this, there can be no doubt that Boromir sees Harry as his little brother. -->'''Morcar''': I note you don't deny his power. Or his insanity.-->'''Boromir''': Anyone who spends more than ten minutes with Harry Potter is certain that he is mad. This is true.

* The following exchange.-->'''Merry''': What are you doing?-->'''Harry''': Looking for trouble.** Takes on a certain sort of FridgeBrilliance when you consider that Harry used to complain that trouble found him.

* What Eirian does to [[spoiler: Wormtongue]]. Combined with NightmareFuel, though he undoubtedly deserves it. Quoth Harry, "[[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Tell me. When did your sister get so scary?]]"
